I understand the need to not panic about our R/M/E weapons, as there is hope that we'll get boosted to match these new god weapons.
But we already have a "Path" we have been following with these weapons to upgrade them: Trial of the Magians. The first instinct would be that in order for SE to re-balance R/M/E to put them on top, would be add more ToM to upgrade them higher. But, we're already stuck on rediculous requirements to finish that path: Afterglow.
Does this mean that SE is full of ***about making them compete someday? Would we be required to drain 250 marrows on afterglow to then get the next upgrade after that? Or would the "balance" be done automatically on all R/M/E across the board no matter which stage you're on?
Unless the "adjustment" to R/M/E that would put them back on par with these godly weapons is an augment of some sort that is applicable to pre-afterglow level, I cannot see how they could possibly make this work... They have already said upgrades would not be by TotM and not require afterglow.

Tanaka was far from balanced, but not THIS far. I'm calling it, Matsui resigns with in a month due to extreme disapproval.

HOLY CRAP I ACTUALLY STARTED DOWNLOADING FILES
That's what I get for not being able to spam the update button as soon as it became available.
Will you put a direct download link for the files again? :) Yeah, soon as I finish updating myself. 50% done.

In that case, awesome. Forgive my ignorance.

I would much like a statement from Matsui and the dev team on what their plans are that they need these new items to be so powerful.
Fat chance, though, huh.

One thing I think people aren't taking into account.
Seekers is 99 content, but it isn't the ONLY 99 content. Legion, Odin 2, Limbus 2, lv99 voidwatch still exists. These new weapons (and theoretically, R/E/M when brought up) make such content irrelevant - despite the fact that such content was made specifically for level 99.
If these weapons go live, FFXI may as well be renamed 'Final Fantasy, Seekers of Adoulin'.

If the new weapons that they are releasing are this powerful, then the R/E/M weapons will be just as good. Not worried at all.

We thought it couldn't get any worse than the abysea leach system mistake screwing up the game... . Man we where wrong!

They already got to pick 5 pieces of gear from the list. I'm sure they are dealing with it.

I'm fully expecting r/e/m to be better than these weapons, but doesn't that strike you as utterly game breaking? What are you going to do now in game? Almost all current and incoming content will be clear-able in a few weeks, then game over.

So upgrade Emp to 99 then do w/e the have in store next? Or just get one of these new weapons and save yourself a lot of time/Gil?

Me, too; "Effective X day of April, I will be stepping down as Director of FFXI's Development Team, Fmr. Director Tanaka will be fixing all the *** I implemented."

They're probably just doing it this way to try to discourage players from only creating level 90/95 weapons and calling it good. If you want to make a relic / emp, take it all the way, otherwise get one of those other weapons.

5/5 Reso is a 5/5 Reso, nothing has changed at 5/5.

No one knows how hard these new weapons will be able to get. If they are craftable say like C. Feet -1 for example, going to cost upwards of 300m. Not many will be able to afford, who knows we'll see ^_^

Im hoping they up most/all pre-adoulin armors statistics by 50%(150% of current, minimum) and weapon statistics by 100% (200% current damage, stat mods.) And double magical damage values by minimum of double following this. Otherwise... yeah... Flushed Fantasy Eleven.
By Chyula 2013-04-29 16:18:34
You need Phos belt to craft the new belt, I'm going to guess the new bow will require E.bow to craft it inorder to keep rarity and price in check.
